Germany part ways with manager Hansi Flick just before Euro 2024 hosting duties.

The German national football team have announced the sacking of manager Hansi Flick just nine months before they are due to host Euro 2024. The news comes after a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Japan on Saturday, a result which left the team feeling deflated and in need of a change in leadership. Hansi Flick had only been in charge for just over a year, having taken over from Joachim Löw in July 2019.

During his time in charge, Germany had enjoyed some successes, with their most recent being a 4-0 victory over Latvia in November. However, Saturday's result was the final straw for the German Football Association, who have now decided to make the change with a new manager set to be chosen in the coming weeks. In the meantime, Jadon Sancho's Manchester United future is in the balance ahead of a meeting with Erik ten Hag, while Arsenal have finally offloaded their flop by confirming his contract termination.
